You landed the enterprise deal. Then came the security questionnaire.

Your startup just landed its first enterprise customer. Then they send over their security questionnaire.

How do you isolate our data from your other customers? Where, geographically, is our data stored? How do you handle GDPR deletion requests? You built for scale. Not for trust.

And it's shared infrastructure. Tenant A uses 40 percent of its quota. Tenant B, 60. Then Tenant C runs analytics on 10 million rows. 800 percent. Everyone else times out.

Get EU data wrong, and GDPR fines go up to 20 million euros. Or 4 percent of global annual turnover. Whichever is higher. And a user says: delete all my data. GDPR gives you one month. Backups, caches, Kafka, all of it.

But here's the catch. Until now, a failure meant retry. Here, a failure is a breach. One breach could expose thousands of customers.

Five days. Isolation. Noisy neighbours. Data residency. Deletion. Defence in depth. Your systems have been fast. Now make them trusted.
